This game has the most Game Boy Advance/DS vibes I’ve seen in a while, which means I slipped into it like a warm bath. Not a bad option if you remember the days of Infinite Space and Trauma Center with a certain fondness 😅

Had chance to play this demo early and its really exciting to see what other devs are doing to build on, expand and reinvent the Citizen Sleeper core.

James has done some cool stuff with a day and night cycle, a grim tone and a high pressure stress system that is well worth checking out 👇

James Patton @jamespatton.bsky.social · 14d

Did you know that early versions of Shipbreaker looked a lot more like Citizen Sleeper (and vice versa)?

Watch this video to learn about the serendipitous similarities between each game and the ways they each explore labor and life under (space) capitalism.

All these games have my highest recommendation. If I haven't convinced you to play them yet, take the opportunity.

Stories of ephemeral community and flickering hope in the ruins of interstellar capitalism seems particularly on point these days.
